Make sure you have a quiet place where you won't be interrupted. I always practice in my room (isolated). Taking the phone off the hook for about a half an hour. Turn off the radio or TV or whatever...
Do warm up exercises,scales or something you know, for a couple of minutes. Then start with something difficult like the new song you are learning. When I'm learning a new song, I play it over & over for 100 times. I am 23 now but I remember when I first started playing 5 years ago, I practiced till 5 o'clock in morning ..

Finish up the session playing the most practiced song you have. Preparing for a performance is little different. Play your songs completely through in the order you will perform them. If you use a capo or different tunings, arrange the songs so there is as little interruption between songs as possible. Think about what you are going to say between the songs. This may sound rude but if you have a fancy move in your mind that you like to do during performance and you're not 100% sure of it, then don't do it. At best you're at about 85% efficiency when nervous and performing. You probably wont be able to do it
